First year: a resounding success!

Our first school year has come to an end, and it’s been a resounding success in my view. It hasn’t been easy, by any means. Many sleepless nights, trying to keep up with never ending new regulations, with bills and overheads, a lot to learn… Finding and forming just the right team, whose members share the same passion for the Montessori method as me, to continue making Unity a child-centred environment above all else.

Working with children is incredibly rewarding, as it is demanding. I believe that a true teacher never stops thinking about their pupils, about how to inspire them, how to help them achieve, how to further their knowledge and curiosity, how to instil that desire for learning, for mastering what they have set to learn without giving up.

When the children come in the morning with a big smile, and go home wishing they could stay a bit longer, that make us feel that we are doing a good job. Our school is now a little community, a place where the families that have trusted us their little ones have found a second home:

“Dear Alex

Ravi and I would like to express our gratitude to you and Team at Unity Montessori Nursery for a great job with our daughter !

Throughout Ella’s school terms, I have seen her self-esteem and confidence grow tremendously.

She has learnt so much, you have cultivated a wonderfully warm and caring environment where the children are considerate, love to help and be helped by each other.

Your patience and encouragement with Ella has been amazing, she looks forward to going to nursery each day 😊

Ella starts reception in September and we feel she has been given the right foundation for learning.

Thank you once again for making this positive impact on Ella and us.

Best Wishes,

Susan & Ravi”

That makes me really proud! So, I would like to thank many people for making this first part of our journey a positive one: first of all the children, then parents, teachers, and the Montessori Centre International (for sending my way amazing students to train).
